a beginning

I am the 9th grade guys' discipleship group leader. It is truly important for me to be praying for my guys. For one, it is a partial reflection upon me how well they are doing, and, moreover, it is a reflection of who God is in them. Because God is good, the guys need to be living a life that exemplifies God's goodness and love, and yet not accepting of sin, because He is holy. My guys are not holy. I am further from holiness than they are! Praise God that He sent His Son to die for me! I need to be faithful to love God, and because I love God, then to love my guys in the Christ-like manner that He desires of me. I pray that as God works in me to become more like His Son, that God would work in the 9th grade guys from Northwest Community Church (www.northwestcommunity.org) and make them more and more like His Son, as well.
